There is no use in trying to get any more

E- ASHiON permits just enough variety
in the shape and weave of straw hats to
suit every man’s requirements, but it forbids
--‘femes. Of course, the only way to be
/sure of style is to get a
- KNOX -i
HAT
And that is not the only reason you should
purchase a hat with the Knox trade-mark in it:
J quality and durability must be present, if you
want a fresh-looking hat all Summer. :
Quality, Durability and Style only the Knox !
V trade-mark will guarantee all three.
A few good things—A genuine Panama in Tourist
and Telescope shapes, $5.00. Peanut Braid the new
Straw; no wear out to it—from 35c to $1.50 per Hat.

Pay Its Worth Nothing More
If we understand the condition of affairs correctly, the owners of
water rights and lands on Kannah creek propose to make a very hard
fight, not so much to retain the water rights, as to secure a sum far in
advance of the actual value of the water and what land is necessary to be*
purchased for the proposed water system for this city. The character of
the legal talent that they have employed can give no other impression of
their purpose, than what we have stated.
Every owner of water on Kannah creek has a right to secure the
best possible settlement for his rights that he can. On the other hand
the city will follow- the law in its strictest sense and pay what they think
It is possible to pay and not one cent more.
There Is away of determining the value of the water set forth in the
statutes of this state, and beyond that valuation secured through due
process of law-, the city should not go or pay. Wo never have felt that
the owners of water on Kannah creek would not sell them for a fair
price if they could. There are other means of securing water for what
land is tillable and the people owning water on the creek know this as
well as wo do. In all the dealings that we have had with the owners per
sonally, there never has arisen any very decided objection to selling, so
much as a desire to make considerable money out of the necessities of the
city, in their desire for this water.
While we have been a most ardent advocate of mountain water for
years and are consistently so now, before we would pay an outrageous
price for the Kannah creew water, we should attempt some other scheme
to give Grand Junction water.
There are hundreds of cities in the East, whose water supply is not
so good as is the supply of this city at the present time, which have j
installed great filteration plants and obtained perfect satisfaction from «
thele use.
We desire Kannah creek water and are willing to pay a fair price «
for same, but we do not propose to advocate any scheme which means a J
big holdup for the people of this city, to secure that water. We have <
faith, however. In the manner in which the law decrees that the water |
shall he secured and shall rest content until we are forced to acknowl- !
edge because of a courts decree that it would he inimical to the city’s |
every interest to make such purchase, before we shall howl to any extent. !
Yale college recently received a legacy from one Alexander Henry
Blount, in the sum of $450,000. Blount was a fashionable English gentle
man. had never traveled in America, no relatives had ever been grad
uated from Yale and there can he found no connection between the fam
ily of the rich and eccentric Englishman and the university. But most
strange, the trustees of Yale seem more concerned over discovering the
cause of the generosity of Alexander Henry Blount, than to accept the
great fortune and put it to good use. Now could Blount only have known
how much good that sum of money would have done for the Western Uni
versity of Science and Art in this city and how his memory would have
always boon revered, had he bequeathed that sum to our local institution,
he doubtless would have made our institution the beneficiary. Yale simp
ly accepts the sum with thanks, as that institution receives such bequests
so frequently that It becomes an old circumstance in its life. But the
same story, that to those that have shall be given, holds good in this
famous bequest as with thousands of others.
The medical fraternity of the city most heartily endorses the sug
gestion of The Sentinel that Hie city add to its equipment an ambu
lance to be used in cases of emergency. It looks almost brutal to be com
pelled to use express wagons or other non-descript vehicles to convey
the sick or Injured to hospitals, when the city could easily maintain an
’ ambulance with practically little extra cost. ' The Rio Grande company
has always paid a certain amount to carry injured to the hospital and
they would willingly contribute toward the expense by paying such sum
to the city. The only cost would be tlie purchase of the ambulance and
the fire department teams could pull same, when needed. The phvsicians
of the city should present a memorial to the city council, looking to the
purchase of an ambulance. ,
Mrs. Lily Langtry Is 54 years young. She does not look, so critics
tell us, one day over 35. She is as much sought after in England today.
1 as when she left her husband two years ago after her marriage or at tile
age of 22. In a recent Interview she says that she does not wear high
| heeled shoes and that whenever a woman tells you that she does not suf
fer from wearing them, you can depend upon it that when that woman
reaches homo nine times out of ten. she suffers the* most awful agony from
her feet. She gives many other reasons why she is so well preserved,
but we only mention one, fearing that even to do this we will incur the
displeasure of those who are devotees of the extremelv high heeled foot
wear.
x lt is said that there is a beautiful and rich American widow, whose
sister is a countess, layin. seige to the heart of the Earl of Curzon.
Curzon was the husband of the beautiful Mary Letter, who became
Vlcerine of India, when her husband held that most important post
There was never a day though in the.life of that couple, In which Mary
Lei ter was not the equal and almost superior of her husband. She won
all England by her beauty, fortltud \ tack, and political acumen. Curzon
might do much worse than ally himself to another American. even '
though she be a widow.
There is some talk that President Diaz of Mexico will retire from
the presidency In 1910. But as the talk does not emanate from the presi
dent himself, there can be little faith put In the report. He has occupied
the presidential chair so long that we do not anticipate that he will va
cate it. until death forces him out. Well, there is one tiling sure the
Mexicans have had peace during the Diaz administration, even though
its term has been lohg and so many anxious ones were waiting to step
into the shoes of the famous president.
It was a dastardly thing upon t s .e part of a newspaper to attempt to
ereati' the impression that r dynamite bomb was the cause of the explos
ion yesterday at Montrose. With the wrought up state of affairs over
the trial of Steve Adams in this city, a newspaper should have had
enough balance wheels moving to have made full investigation before
making the charges made by the Morning Yellow, it is a reflection upon
the town of Montrose and upon the individual suffering the loss, who is
one of the best liked citizens of Montrose county.
Battling Nelson; the Dane, advises his friends to win back some of
the money they lost on him In his last fight with Joe Gans, at Goldfield,
in his coming fight with the colored boy. However, there'll he few who
will be as optoniistic as the Dane himself. Gans is seemingly unconquer
able ns a ring general and it will take a bigger man than Battling Nelson
to retire the redoubtable Joe. So well has Gans fought that his color
has been almost forgotten long ago and he is the admired champion in
his class today throughout all America.
We have often wondered what became of that genius In American
journalism, who last year in tills city, under the patronage of our morn
ng contemporary, taught journalism at five cents the lesson. Grand
Junction has had many fakirs in the newspaper line, but that individual ! 4
was the limit. Among other things he guaranteed to turn out a full
fledged reporter in thirty days. The funny part of the whole matter was :
that lie fooled quite a few into taking his valued lessons.
Few American women think it would be quite correct form to have i
their children taught to make their o»n dresses, we speak of the women !
of w ealth and fashion. But the Crown Princess, of Greece, who is a I
daughter of the dowager Empress Frederick of Germany, insists that her 1
little children shall know the art of making their own dresses.
According to the gospel of the News and Times of Denver, we could
oppose gambling in this city and advocate it at the fair grounds or vice
versa. We could advocate saloons in one ward aud not in another and b;> i
consistent and an opponent of gambling and against the use of intoxi- 1
cants. But then we are hardly so many sided as Tommy Patterson.
Senator Ed. T. Taylor, of Glenwood Springs, did not do much to
ward his gubernatorial boomlet at the convention at the Springs last week
it is our private judgment that Taylor should bottle that little boom a t i
for a long time yet. I
